Today we finally started discussing eighties film, apparently much to the delight of my instructor. I'm not a huge 80's film buff, but I know that the 80's will make every other era in film look like a snooze.
1980 brought about Reaganism in the United States and Thatcherism in Britain. Apparently teenagers didn't like the surge of Conservative everything so escapist films that promoted "going back to simpler times" (like Back To The Future, or so she says) became popular.
Clearly I have no idea what I'm talking about, so it looks like I'm going to have to research Reaganism some more (I just LOVE researching politics).
